A raw, road-tough coming-of-age about one woman who walks away from a life that no longer fits—then discovers the price of freedom and the community that will teach her to survive.

Carrie had the plan: college diploma, steady job, a boyfriend with a guitar, and a little house in the suburbs. But the neat life cracks open one hot July night on a stretch of lonely railroad tracks, and everything she thought she knew spills out.

Drift follows Carrie off the map—into the company of drifters, back-alley communities, and strange, vital friendships that show her how to live without the safety net she once trusted. Along the way she learns which rules are worth keeping, which people you can trust, and what freedom truly costs.

If you like gritty, character-driven road fiction with the pulse of Beat writers and the heart of modern, working-class storytelling, Drift will take you on a journey that keeps you thinking long after the last page.

Includes scenes of roadside survival, punk/DIY subculture, train hopping, and quiet, honest reckonings. Perfect for readers of road-trip novels, coming-of-age literary fiction, and counterculture storytelling.

(Also available in audiobook.)
